SUMMARY:Watchwords of Freedom (virtual program)
DESCRIPTION:Watchwords of Freedom:\nDocuments That Shaped Liberty and Human Rights\nWhat does freedom mean\, and how have generations of Americans and global citizens sought to define and protect it? Watchwords of Freedom explores a remarkable series of documents that expanded the ideals of liberty\, equality\, religious tolerance\, civil rights\, and human dignity across nearly four centuries. \nTo celebrate the 250th Birthday of our country\,  we will begin with the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657—a bold defense of religious freedom in colonial New York—the program traces the evolution of democratic principles through the New York Charter of Liberties\, the Declaration of Independence\, and the Bill of Rights. The discussion then moves into the twentieth century with President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s visionary Four Freedoms\, which helped redefine freedom as a universal human aspiration\, and concludes with the creation of the United Nations Charter\, an international commitment to peace\, cooperation\, and human rights in the aftermath of World War II. \nFree Event\nTo RSVP\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/1992206676799?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:The Summer of 1776
DESCRIPTION:Join local historian\, former board member of GAHS\, and Long Island City in 1776 author Richard Melnick for a fascinating exploration of the dramatic weeks that transformed a colonial rebellion into a fight for independence. \nBeginning with the mounting tensions that led to the Declaration of Independence\, Richard will examine the debates that culminated in its adoption on July 4 and the historic signing by members of the Continental Congress on August 2\, 1776. He will then turn to the events unfolding closer to home as British forces prepared to invade New York\, setting the stage for the pivotal Battle of Long Island on August 27\, 1776—the largest battle of the Revolutionary War. \nDiscover how these defining moments shaped the communities along the East River\, including what is now Long Island City\, and why New York became the strategic center of the Revolution. Richly illustrated with maps\, documents\, and period images\, this lecture brings to life one of the most consequential months in American history and reveals the local stories behind our nation’s founding. \nThe historic Blackwell House door will be on display\, and copies of Richard Melnick’s Long Island City in 1776 will be available for purchase following the lecture. \nAdmission: $5; Free for GAHS Members \nDate:\nSunday August 30 at 3:30 PM \nLocation:\nAdvance Masonic Temple\n21-14 30 Avenue\nAstoria NY 11102
